Planning the utilization of VSLA EF
The process of planning how the Environmental Fund may be used begins when the VSLA review and update their constitution and by-laws (CBL) at the start of their next cycle. Broadly defined goals are transformed into specific uses, using existing management plans as ‘shopping list’ of interventions that the EF can support.
- Effective facilitation
- Management plans for protected areas
Using existing management plans as reference makes the planning quicker and increases the chance of cost-sharing arrangements with other stakeholders
